The very first canvas embroidery stitch I learned – way back in the day – was the mosaic stitch. There are literally hundreds of canvas embroidery stitches that you can use to add depth and dimension to your needlepoint projects. And back in late September and early October, I hosted the 2020 Stitch Challenge to help needlepointers expand their stitch repertoires. More than 600 stitchers from around the world took part in that fun-filled three weeks. Several of those stitchers created samplers from their doodle canvases.
The 2020 Stitch Challenge is in the books. Well, almost in the books. (We still have prizes to award… squeeee!!!) More than 600 stitchers participated and it was a B L A S T!! (If you’re not sure what the Stitch Challenge is, click here to read more about it.) The short version is that I shared 16 canvas embroidery stitches you can use on your needlepoint canvases to add texture and visual interest to them.
We’re in the final week of the 2020 Stitch Challenge! Oodles of stitchers are gathering together every weeknight at 8:00 p.m. CDT and you can still join us. (We have 2 more nights together – YAY!!) If you’re already part of the Challenge, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for joining me! Last night, one of our stitchers asked me to share some of my favorite tools for needlepoint and since our time was limited, I’m sharing a few of them with you here now. 🙂
